how does yale notify you that it has recieved your stuff?

classicdorkette · 10-26-2006, 06:41 PM

i sent all components of my app about a week and a half ago...
the other day, i was browsing through the FAQs on the yale/admit website and one of the answers did mention that once the commonapp portion of the app was processed, we'd recieve some form of notification.

for anyone who has already heard back... was it a letter? email? how long did it take for them to "process"?

just a random set of questions... thanks to all who reply =)

it was an email for me

I understand the admission office sends you by email-if you gave them one on your app-otherwise by snail mail--a password to use on their site to find out the status of your application. The admission office voicemail advised today that you should expect notification the end of Nov.
Good Luck-

Sohni, how long did it take to get a confirmation?

Sohni · 10-31-2006, 06:27 PM

about 1.5-2 weeks

i applied online, and it took 5 days (incl. one weekend)

I sent in my common app and I received email confirmation of that within a day

How long ago did you submit your app (to everyone who got the email)?

MallomarCookie · 11-01-2006, 10:23 AM

I submitted my common app on the weekend and I got a confirmation of that on Monday afternoon.

Enteril · 11-01-2006, 08:00 PM

How come some people are taking so long? It's been two days for me.

theoneo · 11-01-2006, 08:07 PM

I bet the most apps have been sent in between Saturday and today. We'll be the last ones to get our emails. But I doubt it'd take more than 3-4 days.

thanks for all your replies!!
to those that haven't recieved anything and are waiting...

i did not recieve an email from yale.
(perhaps i did but it went straight to my spam folder? that would be bad.)
rather, it took two weeks, but i recieved a snail mail tidbit. it took a while, but confirmation is always good to have =)

so. while it seems that most people are hearing back from yale in a few days at most, it took me two weeks. and i sent my app in early-ish october. hang in there!!

I snail mailed all the parts of my application on Monday-when should I expect to hear anything?

Thanks for your replies! I sent by stuff in five days ago and still am anticipating... but now that I know the procedure I feel much better.
